Mother Duck, Ducklings Take Over HS Courtyard

A few weeks ago, from his desk in his advanced composition class, junior Brandon Sonnefeld saw a welcome surprise.

“I was looking outside into the courtyard for my inspiration,” he said, with finger quotes highlighting that last word, “and out on the cement I saw ducklings, and so I was like, ‘There’s ducklings in the courtyard!’”

Now the courtyard is locked off to give the mother and her seven ducklings privacy. However, a physics teacher has installed a duck cam on his window, feeding live video of the new family.
